When Bai Xun was bored, she downloaded a dating game recommended by a friend.

Then… excuse me, was there such a function?

She was thrown into the game and the only way to return home was to maintain ambiguous relationships with seven different types of men.

So the only way to clear this mission was to gain the hearts of all seven men?

After countless deaths, Bai Xun finally realized that the only way to survive was for her to play an innocent and naive girl in front of the capture targets…

A real tear squeezer, I cried for 5 hours reading this little novel, luckily I did not need to go to work the next day or I’d look like I just finished eyelids surgery. The plots are very good, connections and world building but I’d be more happy if there’s only 1 ML and she didn’t look so fake inside.

It’s a bit rush after arch 4 till the end though author already built MMC and MLs some connections along the story but still I feel a bit rush.

The end is... more>> not very satisfied for me but that’s for the best after all there’s too many MLs to choose <<less

Probably the first reverse-harem novel I finished reading until the end. It's a 5 stars read full of conflicted feelings. At least, there are some relief near the end (epilogue not included). Overall, it was quite a journey.

Want a novel that's filled with drama & dog blood cliche plot but with chapters that are NOT 500+?? Then read this one!

Tbh, i've been eyeing this novel since last year, but let's just say, I'm not really interested in it. BUT (again) since i've got nothing to do, might as well read it. Plus, the translation is completed! So, why not.

And oh boy, this one is good! There are a total of 5 arcs if I'm not mistaken. And just like i've mentioned above, drama? Dog blood cliche plots?... more>> Chapters that don't exceed 500+? You've got it! (Or you can just take a look at the tags)

Even though there are arcs, it was at the same universe/world. Different arcs means different prey target that FL needs to 'capture'. You might find that the way the targets have interest for the FL is super fast, but you need to remember, it's a GAME. So, many of the things that happened are fast & some of it are just plain ridiculuous, but hey, that's just how dating games works isn't it?

And the ending though... Man...

Spoiler

It feels like all the adventure & those 999 attempts are just dream lol ??? it feels like all 90+ chapters i've read were actually blank haha

SUPER GREAT. Omg what a true mastery of men, I've never read such a reverse harem HE.

Almost tempted to take off a full star because it turns out one of the characters who were named Su Shi was actually Su Jin and the translator just changed it because they liked sushi, which bothers me way way more than it probably should. It was so distracting to read that name lmao. But in the end I exercised self-control!

Characters: 5/5

I LOVE OUR MC!!!!!!!! So scheming, she should go to become an actress... more>> in the end. Guaranteed Oscar. I love all the character relationships and the way she expertly rides 7 (8) different boats. Usually harems get annoying because MC is wishywashy or hurting others unintentionally, but in this case it's fine because they're all tr*sh and she has a good reason to do it intentionally hahaha

Plot: 5/5

Great execution of a fun take on a popular theme. The arcs along the way were all very interesting and angsty but in the best way. It's honestly not a heavy read because all the drama is pretty satirical, which I love.

I also love the ending hahahaha! Especially those dreams...

Actually the novel's name bothered me a lot because I felt like it could've been so much more impactful, but reading the novel's ending notes I get it. A different translation of the title would be Xun Xun's Good Temptation.

Writing & Translation: 5/5

Thanks for the hard work! Although bothered by the su shi thing though... but I mean still free labour from someone else. <<less

I like the scene plotted

Especially when..

Spoiler

the FL plot her dead (cause of dead rabies traumatized/scared of light and water) ahahaha I forgot the rabies part that she didnt get vaccine cuz she was kidnap etc. Way to die FL

[collapse]

This story is worth of reading for me. I DID CRY and then I'll realize that she was just pretending ?. The FL is too good in acting.

I also like how the FL conquered the Villain female/fiancee

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED ABOUT A BOOK BEFORE!

OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING IS A TRAGEDY AND A EFFING LIE BUT ITS SO DAMN GOOD!!!!

OBVIOUSLY SHE DOES'NT FEEL A SHRED OF AFFECTION FOR THEM BUT WHYYYYYYYYYYYY IS IT SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD??!!?!?!?

... more>> honestly its hilarious and so soul-enthralling...... maybe im exaggerating but its really good.

if there are any regrets it would be with the yuri/girlxgirl part of the romance......... naturally im not a fan of yuri or anything but in this book the concept was so exciting cuz she had considered the MC an enemy and suddenly fell in love! But whats regretful is how unexplored and incomplete this part was.... it would be fun to see the guys reaction to finding out about how the girl was also in love with the MC and they'd fight over her!!!!!!!!!!! She definitely should have appeared a bit more.

like just imagine that plot!

im pretty satisfied with the ending but I wish they would suffer more except that Su Shi guy (her senior) cause his like for her had no calculations or hurt, in fact since the beginning she had hurt him while he silently protected and loved her... The rest were all pretty scummy.

i would've wished to see Su Shi and the MC at least get a good chance.

the ending in my opinion was'nt rushed and was well written for the most part, some unimportant details were pretty much ignored.

like I would love to know the MC's real world background.

oh and there may be a plot hole here and there, like that psycho director andrik or something what happened to him?!?!?!?

THIS IS A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <<less

This has to be the Best Harem novel I've ever read.

The Female Lead is Smart, Witty, and Incredibly good at acting

The Male Leads are all Intresting in their own way

And The Translation Quality is Excellent

Men are pig trotters and money is king!

This is the central theme of this novel where our FL stood on 8 boats (including one female boat) im her quest for money. We would have deride this novel is this dog blood melodrama is done straightforwardly, but since we know our FL inner voice we just laugh at all the heartache she caused.

A good read.

It was Okay but unfortunately less interesting that I would Thought. The MC is ruthless and clever but the fact that she play innocent 24/7 was a bit boring. She was like the antagoniste in QT, the innocent girl that everyone liked without reason

This is really one of the best novels I have ever read and I think that this will always be one of the best novel I will ever read. It really satisfies your craving for a full to white lotus bit*h protagonist and a reverse harem. After I read this novel I really wanted to read another one like this one but I couldn't find one that is as good as this one. This is a one and only novel and I don't think that there will be another one... more>> like this one. No matter how many reverse harem novels I have read this is really the best one. <<less

Nothing unique in this one I guess. But it does stay Harem-ish.

MC uses very standard formulas found in other novels like [Need to Propose to 7 Men, What To Do]. Everything from amnesia, intentional misunderstandings, terminal disease etc.

[Returning] is better.

All of the MLs are tr*sh. I think I had the most sympathy for the first one (university guy) because their relationship seemed the most "genuine" (even tho it was fake on her part, he treated her with most sincerity). Although he did try to strangle her when they met up... more>> again, so big NO to him.

This one is more shoujo, and the MC is CONSTANTLY crying to remove suspicion and make other people think she is pitiful. Kind of repetitive.

The best part is probably the MC staying true to herself and really not falling in love with any of the men, and choosing money over everything. You go girl?

Translation was pretty good throughout. A couple mistakes and minor incorrect translations, but still good overall. <<less

This is a fun read and definitely different from the usual strategy web novels.

The MC’s character may not be everyone’s cup of tea but once you get passed the initial dislike, she’s alright.

Spoiler

She abused and was abused in return. The author is very good at keeping the balance.

Although the ending is open ended, it actually doesn’t feel frustrating and for me, was a good epilogue to be given to this story. Up until the end, the author never betrayed her setting that the 7 men was from a game world.

It's interesting and fun to read in one go, although the last arc feels bit rushing but its still good. I love the white lotus FL and su shi, the other ML is to wild haha but overall it's short and full of dog blood drama.
